Will the new apple care protection plan cover a crack in my iPhone 5?

Will the new apple care protection plan cover a crack in my iPhone 5?

No it will not. Only if it has been stolen or broken itself. Not by harm. You could always call apple and ask. Or they have an online chat where you could always ask. I mean it never hurts to try. Give it a shot.

You need to pay $50 if you have Apple care, and $250 if you don't.
